The New York City Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in identifying the following individuals wanted in a robbery that took place on Dec. 4.

When these heartless goons mugged a 90-year-old senior citizen in Harlem last week– there was one thing they weren’t able to swipe—his spirit.

“I wish I had a pistol or knife to cut their heads off,” fumed Jessie Little, from his sixth floor apartment at the Savoy Park, as cops released surveillance shots of the suspects.

The plucky Harlem resident was ambushed by two thugs in the elevator of his building at 2:00 p.m. on Dec. 4, after grocery shopping at a nearby Key Food supermarket.

“I was coming from the supermarket and two guys got on with me on the elevator. I pushed the button and one man put his arm around my neck,” Little said.

“He pulled me to the floor. The other man stole $380 from my pocket.” A neighbor spotted Little sprawled on the floor and contacted 911. The assailants fled after the attack and Little was taken to Harlem Hospital. “ I stayed at Harlem hospital for eight hours. I had problems with my neck hurting.”

Little said he lives off a $500 monthly stipend and thinks the men spotted him withdrawing cash from a bank. “I’m 90-years-old so they figured they could get away with it.”

The elderly man said the attack has left him with a chronic sore throat and is currently taking two medications.

While the incident isn’t keeping the retired marine closeted inside his home, Little admitted he’s now extra vigilant when he steps outside.

“I ain’t scared in here with the lock but I’ll watch myself when I go out,” Little said. “I’m checking around and looking to see who’s behind me when I go out.”

And he still had plenty of angry words for the crooks, described as dark-skinned men, about 5’9 tall.

“I’m sure mad that I got mugged. I want to take those men, throw them in jail and then throw away the keys.”
